Title: Hybrids
Post by: stevefitz5 on May 13, 2011, 14:11

Hi

Sorry if this is a stupid question but are there any hybrids that lay green or blue eggs?  :unsure: I was wanting to get another two chickens and wanted something different but not sure how i would cope with a white star with it being flighty?

Cheers Steve

I know skylines lay blue eggs, but I'm not sure about any others  :unsure:

Cream legbars lay blue eggs. I bought some CL x silkie eggs from fleabay last year to hatch. The resulting hens are black, one lays a green egg, one lays a blue egg and one lays a green speckled egg! :wacko:

that is an intresting set of hens you have themagicaltoad1! What are cream legbars like as chickens go tempremant etc? Are they flighty? We keep chickens in a walkin run and a little bit of free ranging when we are about!

thanks Steve
